How are his grades? Is he a good student, does he have any outside interests? the other poster is right it might be depression but could be anything or nothing...

if it is not attributed to depression or anything except starting to break away then guess some behaviour modification may be a suggestion...video games? cell phone? if he has those and is missing school assignments then they could be curtailed..

as far as the room goes well...i know it bothers many a parent but a parent once put a different slant on it...her teenager did very well in school, held a job, took advanced classes, was in sports and was in high honors...her room was an absolute mess...the mother chalked it up to that maybe the room was the only place where she did not have control it a space where she could relax as all the other facets of her teenagers life were fine...it made sense to me so I let the room thing go...of course within reason...

if his grades are failing and he is withdrawing then counseling may be in order....good luck
